Asia World Company’s main communication office was badly damage by bombs.

Four people died and over 12 people were injured when exploding bombs for the first time rocked the Myitsone dam project in Irrawaddy River in Kachin State, northern Burma, said local residents. Most of the dead and injured were Chinese workers.

At least three bombs exploded in quick succession in front of Asia World Company’s office, one of the implementing agencies of the dam project in Lungga Zup, 18 miles north of Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State, at about 4:45 a.m.  Burma Standard Time, residents said.
he explosions also resulted in severe damage to the company’s two-storey office, said residents in the dam project site. Several company-owned cars trucks and bulldozers were also destroyed in the blasts.

Over 300 Chinese workers employed with the China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) were evacuated in four buses to Myitkyina soon after the explosion.

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the first ever bomb explosions in the Myitsone dam project, said the sources.

Significantly, the bomb explosions occurred one day after the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) took pains to apprise the Kachin public about the latest situation of disagreement on transforming the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), the armed-wing of KIO to the junta-proposed BGF.

Naw Awng, leader of the anti-dam movement and All Kachin Students’ Union (AKSU), an underground Kachin students’ organization based in Kachin State told Kachin News Group, “We harbour no policy of violence.  The explosion may have been triggered by anti-dam civilians or secret groups or organizations”.

The dam for the hydropower project at the confluence of the Irrawaddy River, or Mali Hka in Kachin, which is formed where the two major rivers— Mali Hka River and N’Mai Hka River meet, is being implemented by the Asia World Company, Ministry of Electric Power-1 in Burma and Chinese state-owned China Power Investment Corporation (CPI).

A Series of Bomb Blasts in Northern Burma

A series of bomb exploded early on Saturday morning around the area of the Myitsone dam project in Kachin State, northern Burma, according to residents of Myitkyina, the Kachin State capital.

“At least, seven bombs exploded in three places in and around the Myitsone dam project this morning,” a source told The Irrawaddy on Saturday. “Two cars were destroyed, but I heard that nobody was killed in the blasts.”

However, Kachin News Group based in Thailand reported on Saturday that four people had died and 12 were injured in the blasts, the majority of whom were Chinese workers.

There are currently around 300 workers from China employed by the China Power Investment Corporation at the dam site. At least three bombs reportedly exploded in front of the offices of AsiaWorld, the main Burmese contractor at the project.

Contacted by The Irrawaddy, Myitkyina police station declined to give any information about the case.

The controversial dam project has been condemned by human rights groups and environmentalists. About 15,000 local people are due to be relocated due to the dam’s construction.
